This deal may disappear fast, so I’m not going to waste time with needless banter. Jet.com currently has the 32GB Nexus 6P on sale for just $ 347, with free shipping, thanks to a coupon code and a couple of other stipulations. Here’s what you need to do to see that price in your cart.

Few would argue that GoPro is the king of the action camera world. It’s the brand of choice for professional film crews and amateur enthusiasts alike and dominates the competition in terms of market share and brand recognition. GoPro’s current flagship model, the HERO4 Black, is touted by many as the best action cam on the market.

A couple of weeks ago, GeekBuying.com asked if I would be interested in reviewing a new GoPro competitor, the YI 4K Action Camera.

Introduction

The Nexus 6P is very good phone. I love almost everything about the behemoth. The only two big drawbacks in my consideration are the slow camera speeds (seriously, please fix this in Nougat) and the mediocre battery life. I am a very heavy mobile user and the 6P has never lasted me an entire day without a mid-day top off at lunch.

With that in mind, I was very excited to hear that ZeroLemon (finally) released an extended battery case for the Nexus 6P.

Noticing something is amiss with SwiftKey lately? You are not alone. The keyboard’s sync service has been broken for the last three days, and there’s no sign of a resolution yet. SwiftKey is aware of the problem, though.

One of the nifty things about SwiftKey is that it includes Google account login for syncing your typing data. That means custom phrases and suggestions will be available in the keyboard. Without sync, no new words can be sent to the cloud or downloaded to devices.

It has been about six weeks since the last YouTube Gaming update rolled out, and it’s clear the developers have been keeping pretty busy on making changes. The latest update has quite a few improvements to be found throughout the app, not to mention at least one feature that might be considered pretty huge. Topping the list is a new live comment stream that overlays on top of gameplay videos so you can see the action and watch the commentary at the same time.

The OnePlus 3 is a solid device, but it’s not exactly bug free. Since release, owners have reported a number of vexing issues to OP in the hope of getting them fixed. Today, there’s an OTA (OxygenOS 3.2.2) rolling out that addresses several of those bugs. You probably won’t get it right away, but it’s coming.

New Nexus phones are right around the corner… which means it’s a pretty great time to pick up the current models with a sweet discount. B&H Photo, Best Buy, and Newegg are all offering dramatic price cuts on the LG Nexus 5X and the Huawei Nexus 6P. Here’s a breakdown of this weekend’s deals:

Nexus 5X – note that different colors have different discounts. The best deal is the white or black 32GB version for $ 269.

If there’s one thing the last few months have taught us, it’s that savvy consumer need never pay full price for a Samsung flagship. Hardly a week goes by when we don’t see some new low on the Galaxy S7 or its Edgy brother, and this week’s deal is courtesy of eBay. That’s where you can find a Galaxy S7 Duos (that’s the dual-SIM version popular outside the US) for just $ 489.99, the lowest price we’ve seen yet on any new dual-SIM S7 variant.

Google has been on a roll this week with app updates and there have been some pretty cool new features, not the least of which makes comic books more awesome. One of the latest arrivals to the list is a beta update to the titular app. Known originally as “Search,” the Google app now encompasses a custom launcher, the Now stream, Now on Tap, voice commands, and more. The recently announced Google assistant is on course to join the party, promising to bring many of these technologies together to deliver something not unlike the computer from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
